I ate nothing but spicy hummus yesterday and today it came out spicy hummus.
- congratulations, you can be sure that it was spicy hummus.sted

Would anyone notice???futurefood - If I were Elon Musk, I'd spend all my billions working out how to make a pill that gave put taste buds on someone's anus. And then the world shall know my wrathNairn

Things that I never expected to hear our company president (a woman) say:
“Who keeps farting? Is it you? [gives evil eye to a heavyset man in our group] Whoever it is it’s so gross.”

- The correct response to her accusation should have been: 'Fox always smells own hole first.'Continuity
- And yeah, always throw someone else under the bus for a fart. This is the way.Continuity
- It's always, always the vegans with the rancid breath and rotten farts.shapesalad
- Actually, this reminds me of a shoot I was on in summer '21. I was sat cross-legged on the grass with the Senior AD, and we were talking about the dayContinuity
- And I heard a sound coming from her suspiciously like a fart. 'Did you fart?!' 'No,' she replied. 'It was just my cowboy boots rubbing against each other.'Continuity
- 'However,' she continued. And then she opened up with ... something ... from her arsehole that sounded not unlike a goose blowing through a vuvuzela. Shocking.Continuity
- Her subsequent maniacal laughter was pretty unsettling, too.Continuity
- @TheGreatGlorpo are u vegan?milfhunter
- Not vegan. Just can’t do whey.TheGreatGlorpo

I somehow managed to get a spark off some neodymium magnets snapping together. Hoping to repeat this, I've managed to break 3 neodymium magnets. They're 'a bit fragile', I forgot.
I'm guessing a small bit of iron got squished.

Ugh, contemporary average consumer grade car aesthetics. They all look like vacuum cleaners, electric razors and Korean microwave ovens. Yeech.

So the funeral was a couple a days ago now. Everything went well.
I decided to cut out a shirt pocket from one we had bought together. Printed out a old photo, wrote a personal message on the back and put it in the shirt pocket. It was then placed on the chest of of my other half in the coffin. That way at least a small part of us would always be together, and the only way I could keep my promise of always being there.
So now they are resting under the shade of a cherry tree.
Don't think I'll write more about it here on the site. The only advice I can give is perhaps to record your loved ones voice. Read out a poem, a part of a book, today's shopping list, anything is better than listening to just a voicemail line.
Thanks for the kind thoughts.
- Oh, Nutter. This is really heartbreaking. And so utterly sweet.
They were lucky to have you in their life. All of our hearts go out to you.Continuity - No words yet again. Never hesitate to reach out.garbage

Ash from the eruption blanketed several villages and nearby towns, officials said."https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2…
Wtf is this guy's problem bro'?!
We have pandemics and wars and inflation going on rn, we shouldn't bother with volcanoes bro

I watched The Rings of Power series recently and enjoyed it. So much so, that I've revisited all of the LOTR movies and have appreciated them as part of a bigger story. So much more than the Star Wars prequel films - my god they are terrible(except Rogue One). Tolkein was such an amazing writer and I give the Rings of Power a certified thumbs up

If you you mostly stream music and don't have room for (or a particular interest in) physical media, how do you support artists?
1) Buy their stuff on Bandcamp, but don't download it (because you use a streaming service, and just want to support)?
2) Go to shows?
3) The pennies they get from the streaming is enough support from you?- 0) I dont, there are too many musiciansdrgs
- 1) & 2).
i don't stream music.hans_glib - I don't stream music eitheroey_oey

I've just had a request for a quote from someone I was entirely convinced had committed suicide about 6 years ago.

I look at wood patterns and floors or wallpapers and other kind of patterns on walls and all I see is vaginas.
If I did a Rorschach test I'd just say "vagina" every time.
- do you suffer a traumatic birth experience?uan
- William Makepeace Thackeray once stated "Life is like a mirror...". There was more to the quote but I think for you those opening five words stand on their own.PonyBoy
- How do you know what a vag looks like, are you looking at them online?shapesalad
- most of qbn knows how your room looks like but no worries mate, time for a change. just reduce the number of pussy-posters in your room and you will be fine.sted

How do you guys go about printing visual references to pin on a board in this digital age ?
I haven't had a regular printer in more than a decade and they seem hardly economical for images though I could go the b&w route.
I used to have a Canon Selphy at some point and loved it, appart from all prints being the same size (4x6 inches / 9x15cm) which lacks hierarchy once you pin a bunch of them.
- Throw ‘em all onto a tabloid canvas in PS, arrange, then print out a single copyscarabin
- I've got a b&w laser printer only this days. All color work, to printshops.OBBTKN

Just thought I'd throw this out there, have you tried not being on the internet?
imagine there's no internet,
it's impossible if you try...- When I retire, I want to disconnect, apart from bank/holiday/friends... communication tools.shapesalad
- Not really, no. I tend to actively avoid browsing on my phone when I'm out and about, but I still use practical apps (bank, transport, maps, email etc)Nairn
- I'll say this - whenever the internet gets knocked off at home or at work, for whatever reason, I very quickly flounder.Nairn

My partner's started a new contract, developing a potential TV series.
It's ..uh.. yeah. It's a moral minefield of a concept, and I'm really struggling to see how it could be actually practically realised, never mind the clusterfuck of psychological trauma that I can imagine it potentially unleashing on the contestants.
It's making for a few interesting evening chats this week.
I think that era of 70s–80s dystopian future TV shows is on us. We've been prepping well enough since ‘Big Brother’.
Still, it pays well, so we're ok.

- Put it this way, one of my questions was - "what if one of them totally spacks out and starts killing the other contestants?".
And I'm not exaggerating.Nairn - Ha. Made me think of Space Cadets on C4. Is it commissioned by a specific channel? or a production co trying to pitch it to one?Fax_Benson
- I'm saying nuttin'. Just keeping this here as a bookmark for if/when it does come out :)
*googles Space Cadets C4*Nairn - Oh hey, thanks for that link - it's not at all that, but it's useful for her, I'm sure.
'Thanks Kingsteven'?
What HAVE you done?Nairn - Oh fuck. That's weird, sorry Fax!
How did I get that wrong?Nairn - Please be rollerball. Please be rollerball. Please be rollerball.
Ps. Please not the LL cool J one.monNom

Resending a job offer acceptance
Any way to do this gracefully?
I was offered a new job via a recruiter. I interviewed a few times and received an offer, which I accepted and gave my standard two weeks notice.
My current company counter-offered. The company has been in flux and restructuring lately, which seemed shaky to me. The counter-offer is nice mostly due to the long-term growth of my role and the team I can build around me.
So now I have to let the other company know I no longer want their opportunity. I feel a bit like a dirtbag but putting in my notice forced an issue I needed to be resolved.
- Ugh. If only there was an easier way to get a big raise at one’s current job. I’m not being sarcastic.monospaced
- I feel like the only way now is to get a better offer and ask to have it matched which sucks.monospaced
- You're happy to stay at your current company under the new conditions + raise.
It's ok to simply say it to the recruiter, wasn't your plan but it happens.spl33nidoru - Well done by the way!spl33nidoru
- resend ≠ rescindimbecile
- Payback time - ghost them - to pay back for all those 100s of jobs we all apply to, interview for and then get ghosted by.shapesalad
- Last year I had a couple of jobs where i was interviewed 2 or 3 times, given tasks to do, even a IQ test thing... then zip, nada, days turned to weeks to monthsshapesalad
- I ended up digging around for HR email address and going to them, eventually a pathetic emails saying they went with someone else - months after interview.shapesalad

Turns out the giant bush spilling over my backyard wall is rosemary. Apparently i’ve had an inexhaustible supply for several years now.
And the weird weed in my garden i’ve been letting grow all year is a fig tree. Birds must have carried in the seed from somewhere.
Pretty neat discoveries in the garden today.
- When I lived in the warehouses, there was someone who would regularly cook with rosemary she stole from a neighbour's garden. It was Lavender.Nairn
- Skillet steak, holmes, get on it!BonSeff
- Plant some garlic and you are in great shapeBonSeff
